Nankivell did not install dealer badges according to my conversations with Morgan Nankivell - the last surviving family member involved with the Nankivell dealerships. Nankivell used a license plate frame, in old english script, red if chevrolet and black if oldsmobile.

There were two different Nankivell Chev. frames that we know of:

I forgot to include this Nankivell advertisement from 1969. It shows that they also sold some of the '69 IPC's, but also a replica Daytona Citrus 250 car - not sure what that is, but....

Says they had 60 Camaros in stock

Humm.....Don did win the Daytona Citrus 250 in 1969, in a white Camaro. It would be interesting to know more about the replica listed for sale in the ad. Wonder how many Yenko made?

I just thought of something, maybe the 'Yenko' Camaro's were considered Citrus 250 replicas?
